I have digitized the following but am hoping maybe someone has better quality than what I have made. Mine are pretty decent, but again, may of you have much greater ability doing this stuff. Here are a few I am looking for. I monitor the internet hoping they get a CD release but to my knowledge, not as of today.

The Fountainhead - The Burning Touch LP (1986) - not sure why this gem never saw a CD release. It is an outstanding LP.
The Last - Painting Smiles On A Dead Man LP (1983) - seems this is the only LP by The Last that has yet to be released on CD. A shame, their releases are always excellent. This LP is one of their best.

There are others, but figured I would start with these two releases. My conversions are pretty decent, so if no one has them in excellent quality, I can live with what I have.

Do you still need these? I have them from a long time ago if you do.

Thanks musfan.

I went back to my Fountainhead CD I made from my vinyl years ago and for some reason, this morning it sounds better than I remembered. I had it on my list to look for a better conversion, but since that was years ago, maybe I just never removed it from my list. Mine sounds pretty fantastic considering it was a vinyl conversion. I much appreciate you sending me your version to check out. I will go ahead and post my conversion sometime today.

As for The Last - Painting Smiles On A Dead Man LP, I also converted that one years ago and remembered thinking it could sound better. Today I will pull that one and give it another listen. Maybe I will surprise myself with that one as well.
